The Krom Adrian Pro Mod is the signature model of Adrian Vilau, the player who took home the 2024 European kendama championship held in Leiden (Netherlands). The design mirrors Adrian's own everyday setup: a configuration tuned for modern technical play, with room for control and a balanced feel in the hand.

The ken is turned from maple and served with a natural finish, leaving the grain visible and stamped on the base with the AV mark. The tama is beech, finished with matte I+D paint in a deep purple that acts as the backdrop for the central graphic depicting the city of Leiden, a direct nod to the title. A subtle camo-style band rounds off the look without cluttering it.

The chosen shape is the Lambo, one of the most established kens in Krom's catalogue when precision matters: short walls, well-defined big and small cups and a stable base for spikes and stalls. The tama measures 62 mm in diameter, close to the competitive standard, and comes fitted with a mini bearing and the Krom weight guarantee of zero to seven grams between ken and tama.

The pack includes the kendama, a spare string, string-swap tool and stickers. There are no extra accessories, in keeping with the more adult and competition-oriented approach of the Pro Mod series.

It targets intermediate and advanced players who already know what they want from a ken: fine control, quick response on technical tricks and a matte finish that adds grip without dragging on the spin. It is also a compelling choice for anyone looking for a signature with a real competitive story behind it.
